*After my 11/11/2011 open heart surgery, I drove for the first time, 12/15/2011. I had a rush of excitement when I pulled my 1979 Caprice Classic out of the garage, where it had been with my 5 MCs. As I drove down the road, my thoughts turned to other cars, particularly ones I'd love to purchase......mid-late 1970s LTD/Thunderbird...1975 Caprice Classic convertible...1976 Caprice Classic sedan...1989 Caprice Classic sedan...1987 MC SS Aerocoupe...2011 Dodge Charger...& too many others....

Then, during that same drive, I wondered what it'd be like to have KITT, KARR, Herbie, the General Lee, Jim Rockford's Pontiac, Starsky & Hutch's Torino, & a host of other "starring" vehicles ALL in the SAME television show or movie.... I blame it on the drugs.

What I DO NOT blame on the drugs are thoughts for a POTENTIAL "Post-Surgery Party", a return to hosting my CD SHOWCASE radio show, & my 2012 road trip, fueled in part, by finding this ... Kermit & Fozzie in the 1979 Muppet Movie, Movin' Right Along....

*sighs*

If only I could figure out a way to be on the radio &/or "on the road" 24/7/365...!

POST-SURGERY PARTYI'm not sure if I'm going to throw a party to celebrate. I had a blast at the Pre-Surgery Party, but that was before "winter".

IF I do this, it'll probably be SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2012. Who would be IN?

RADIO WAVESI'm looking into hosting regular versions of my radio show, CD SHOWCASE.

Are you interested in supporting it by becoming a business FEATURED on the RADIO SHOPPING SHOW? If so, please contact me for details:wrmnshowcase@aol.com

2012 ROAD TRIPI lost 5 of my 15 vacation days due to my 11/11/2011 OHS, so it'll be a shorter journey.... IF it works out, I will follow the ROUGH schedule/outline below, arriving home before the LAST birthday of my 30s.

Any thoughts/suggestions about the schedule or route? Want to meet up along the way? Let me know, please!

Thanks, I sure hope so! I plan to see a lot of family and friends again this year!

Day 1 - I know you probably have diet restrictions but if it were me, my first day would end at Ted Drewe's in St. Louis with a Big Apple Concrete.

Not too many diet restrictions, so a stop at TD's IS planned, with some Route 66 friends of mine who live in STL. Will most-likely spend the night at their house, too. Last time I was at TD's (late June 2011), I had the "Cardinal Sin" Concrete.....

*grins devilishly*

Day 6 - Greenville, SC is getting pretty close to my house. Maybe we could arrange to meet there for lunch.

AWESOME! I will be stopping in that area to see friends, so perhaps we could all meet for lunch...? It'd be great to meet you! I'm posting approx times below....

Day 14 - Make sure you have your jacket packed for Traverse City!

Heh ... I know. I wish I could've done this trip in the summer, but it'll be OK .

*I need to STOP looking at cars for sale....

POST-SURGERY PARTY

This is scheduled, for a week later ... ~5:30p-10:30p, SATURDAY, 02/11/2012.
